“One of our foreign trade customers has placed orders for simulated silk and false twist crepe velvet three times in a row, 30,000 meters, 50,000 meters and 100,000 meters respectively…” said a textile boss who specializes in simulated silk.
Repurchase orders are coming. Is this a warning before the market gets better?
But in fact, this is not the case. It has entered August, and there is still one month before the end of the off-season. After all, the current domestic demand market is still in the off-season. The looms in the factories of many textile owners are still half-operated. Some are even less than half open. According to the operating rates of sample companies monitored by Silkdu.com, the current operating rate of looms in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is only 61%. In the same period last year, the operating rate was more than 70%. Although the operating rate since the epidemic has increased The rate is not very high, but this year is indeed the worst year in the past three years of the epidemic.
The above-mentioned textile boss also said that the order was a foreign trade order. The domestic demand market was “a backwater” and the foreign trade market was not necessarily there.
Therefore, the good thing is just foreign trade.
Speaking of foreign trade, when the editor visited a company last week, the person in charge said: “Our foreign trade orders have been very good this year, with orders for hundreds of thousands of meters. Currently, the looms are basically running at full production. , because they are all mid-to-high-end fabrics, the profits are actually good, so this year it seems that the market is not very good for everyone, but we are indeed doing pretty well, even in the off-season, salespeople are constantly taking orders.”
It can be seen from the above-mentioned statements by the person in charge of the company that the market polarization is very serious today, and it is under such circumstances that this problem can become more obvious.
However, some time ago it was said that foreign trade orders were unsatisfactory. Foreign trade bosses relied on their usual large quantities and good relations with dyeing factories to grab orders from domestic trade bosses, which proved that the foreign trade market was not very good. So it’s not that foreign trade orders are getting better, it’s just that the good ones are really good, and the bad ones are really bad.
However, some textile bosses said that the foreign trade market has indeed improved recently. Just like the above-mentioned example of a textile boss who repeated orders, it can be seen from repeated orders that demand still exists, but now customers are more cautious in placing orders. After all, they are stocking up. It really costs lives.
Two-thirds of the off-season has passed, can the peak season be far behind?
In fact, the reason why everyone complains about textile bosses is not that there are no orders in the market, but mostly because the profits are pitiful. A textile boss said before: “There are orders, but I don’t know whether the order will be received or not.” No answer.”
In the early days, some niche products were selling well, and the profit of the machine could reach several hundred yuan. Although there was no loss on the above-mentioned replica orders, the profit of the machine was only 50 yuan/day. Because they are mass products, it was already very good without losing money. This year because of the raw materials The price is high. The market price of many conventional fabrics is lower than the cost price. Many fabric textile owners do not even know how to produce their own fabrics even when they go outside to get the goods. The prices are repeatedly suppressed by customers. How can they still have money in their pockets? And those who really make money They are all mid-to-high-end, niche products. These products have a smaller audience and fewer manufacturers, so they are naturally more profitable.
In one month, the market will usher in the second peak season of “Golden Nine and Silver Ten”. The market was not very good in September last year, but late orders were concentrated in October, which means that the peak season in the second half of the year will be late, but it is definitely not will disappear, but whether the market can improve in the second half of the year still depends on the epidemic factors, weather conditions, cost-side impacts and the market environment. It is not yet certain whether the peak season will arrive as scheduled.
If it weren’t for the low profits this year, the actual situation cannot be said to be bad.
